I'm their grief over the disap-
pearance of union soldiers from the
senate, the democrats should re-
member that, though they have had
many chances they have never put
one there, and that at every oppor-
tunity they have elected either q
northern copperhead or an ex-rebel.
Every union soldier who has repre-
sented a state in the senate has beeu
sent there by the republicans.

Sad Tragedy Over a Trivial Matter.
CAMERON, March 10.-Last Satur-
day night two young men, White and
Sanders, who were living and work
ing together upon the branch of John
NJ. Henley, quarrellcd over some triv-
ial matter and White shot Sanders,
killing him instantly. A preliminary
examination was had at Buckholts
yesterday, and the evidence showing
that White acted in self-defense he was
released upon giving bond in the sum
of $500. The young men were cous-
ms and had been together as brother
for many years. They were on tl.eir
way home to Georgia, and tarried ero
to do some work for Mr.. Heil ey
White has the sympathy of all who
are conversant with the facts, and o.
this community generally.

SETTLING DIFFICULTIES
Aud Consolidating street railways.

On last Saturday night an ordl-
nance was introduced in the city coun-
ell for the Dallas Consolidated Street
Railway. ordering that the right OF
way and privileges Of the companies
consolidated be granted and extended
for q period of - years, the cars to
be operated by horse, cable or electric
power, the company to have the right
to lay its tracks rs may be necessary.
The company agrees to pay the tax
due thc city for paving the space be-
tween the rails of the Dallas Street
Railway bed on Main street from Syca-
more to Jefferson, including all street
intersections, and the tax due for
paving the space between the rails Of
the Dallas Street Railroad on Austin
stree! from Main to Pac fic avenue, in
Guiding MI street intersections, and 10
pay all costs in the two cases now
pending in the courts brought by the
Dallas City and Dallas Street Railroad
companies; also the costs due in the
case recently brought in Tie district
court by the Dallas City Railroad
Company 10 restrain the city from in
terferiilg with the company's track on
Main from Austin to Jackson streets
The company furthermore agrees
to relinquish the charter right Of
the Dallas City Railroad Company to
build a street railway where it ploascs
in the city, and to subject all work Of
construction to the supervision Of the
city engineer. This agreement with
the city seems very fair on the face of
il, and it is presumed will pass the
council al its next meeting.
a representative of the HERALD
called on Mr.. Ferris, the president of
the Dallas Street Railway Company,
and asked for further information
concerning the consolidation. Mr..
Ferris with his blandcst smile
referred the representative 10
Mr.. Henderson, the superintendent,
whose headquarters are sin the sad
die" Hating the gentleman this
morning, Mr. Henderson politely in
formed the scribe that the time was
not ripe for divnlginG the secrets OF
the "hidden chamber" So TO speak, and
he had nothing to say at this time. but
in very short while matters would
be in an agreeable condition to spread
before the public and case an anxious
public mind.
Having gained such valuable infor-
the scribe can say that "a con-
solidation is taking place."

Reformatory and Local Option

AusTIN. March 9.--J'he senate was
in a reform to-day. II passed the re-
formatory bill, amending the local OPP
ton law ana revised and stood on its
fest he old law against gaming. In
the discussion Of the local option mat
ter nearly all the senators took hand.
The bill under consideration was for
the purpose of SO shaping the laws
that they could really be enforced.
The old law was good enough, so they
all admittc !, but its enforcement was
absolutely impossible on account of
so many conditions precedent to The
election. The local optiCnisis were on
one side. while the moderate REFORM
crs were on another. The men who
oppose local op:ion were greatly in
the minority, and could only applaud
their enemies as they gouged each
other The two factions finally agreed
or this kind of Il compromise: The
commissioners can at any time call u
local option election in any precinct
or county, and when one-third of the
qualified voters apply for such an
election the court is forced TO call the
election. This agreement gets in tine
views of both sides to the question.
The calling of local option election
is discretionary with the commission
crs' court at all times, except when
onc-third of the voters in II locality to
be affected by il petitions when the
court is required by law to call it,
